[Galaxy]

Jeez...What's with me and getting the last pick in both drafts?

[Eaglesfan27]

I think it would be useful to repost the list of all teams under 80, especially since the lists in the other leagues didn't include them all. Anyone have the master list available?

[bignej]

I'll take Pitt


I dont have high hopes for doing well here

[Anthony]

why don't you make it if a guy chooses a team that is under 70, he automatically gets homefield advantage?

[Eaglesfan27]

I don't like that idea, but I do like the idea that the 3 teams with the lowest overall rating get the "extra" home game in each group.

[Sun Tzu]

Works for me.

[Anthony]

there's no incentive to be a really crappy team. its cool that we eliminate the real powerhouses, but lets get real here - everyone is gonna choose a 79, 77 or 75+ team. it just defeats the purpose of taking away elite teams cuz people will naturally just select from whatever is the best available. maybe i'll just take a sub 70 rated team and eat my own medicine.

the 3 teams with the lowest overall rating will most likely be the teams that are picking last - that wouldn't solve much. since i pick 3rd from last i would just select the highest rated team that is lower than everyone else's. the talent of the actual player (us) really comes into play when you select crappy teams, cuz then it's all about playcalling and knowing how to best utilize the players at your disposal.

[Eaglesfan27]

Sure, almost everyone is going to pick the mid 70 teams but it does eliminate the true powerhouses that are in the game and could abuse the game's flaw even worse than other teams. I don't think players should get a huge bonus for picking teams in the 60's when we don't know how significant home field advantage is.

[Mike1409]

I will run with USF.

[KWhit]

Ugh. I wanted Pitt so I wouldn't have to learn a third team, but I'll go with Washington.

[Eaglesfan27]

Darn! I was looking forward to controlling Locker in this tourney as well. Have fun with him

[JetsIn06]

Rutgers please.

Sorry again Logan.

[Logan]

Snaked again! What a prick!

I'll give Kentucky a shot.

[Eaglesfan27]

Darn, my top 3 teams have gone in the last 3 picks.

[kcchief19]

I'm going with a sleeper selection ... Boise State.

[Sun Tzu]

And I'll take my NOFL team...

The Stanford Cardinal

[Eaglesfan27]

Since the teams I have the most attachment to are gone, I'll take a team that looks like they have some fun weapons - Oklahoma State.

[Kodos]

Woot! I get my Hoosiers!

[Eaglesfan27]

I seriously considered them. They have some good weapons too. I looked through the depth chart of about a dozen teams and I'd put them 2nd in talent of the teams left right behind Oklahoma State.

[Kodos]

I wouldn't have liked that choice.

[Bigsmooth]

I'll roll with Hawkins' Heroes. The Buffs.

[Logan]

I'm really happy I ended up with them in the East Coast league. Would've given them another run but figured I should switch it up for this.

[Grammaticus]

If the draft rolls to me before this evening, I probably won't be on until I get back from work. Sorry if that holds things up. I'll try to see if I can check things once in the afternoon.

[wade moore]

North Carolina

[cartman]

I'll go with my grandma's alma mater, and the first college team I rooted for growing up, TCU.

[Sun Tzu]

Just PM myself or Galaxy your top 3.

[DeToxRox]

I'll take Wake Forest

[BigDPW]

I thought hard about going with another team but I think I will stick with...

NC State

[Grammaticus]

I'll take Rice

[Anthony]

Louisville

[cmp]

Arkansas

[JeeberD]

You know you want to pick UTEP, Galaxy. Trevor Vittatoe to Jeff Moturi ALL DAY LONG. Plus the new 3-3-5 defense will be sure to wreak havoc on your opponents...

[JetsIn06]

Just so you guys know....my game should be here by tomorrow. Sorry if I hold anything up.

[Kodos]

I can't imagine that'll be a problem. Galaxy (or someone) still needs to figure out the brackets and whatnot.

[Galaxy]

Give the Spartans of Michigan State.

[Kodos]

Alright! The draft is done!

Awesome...lets get this thing rolling! I get HA in my division? I thought this thing was going to be a challenge!

[Sun Tzu]

Regarding the home/away thing...what was the final verdict on this? I have my first game tonight against Colorado.

[JetsIn06]

Got my game in the mail today!

Ready to kick all your asses.

[Logan]

Yeah I take back my anger towards you over taking Rutgers. It's really okay.

Really.

Please have mercy.

[Anthony]

its really awesome that Bam Margera is participating in the FOFC Trout Tourney.

[Galaxy]

You forgot the pre-Bam Margeta picture.

[Sun Tzu]

Are we playing w/ 5 minute Q's or 7? I could care less...just wondering if this was decided on yet?
